I'm considering two purchases over the next few months, and I was wondering
if I could get some input:

a) a company called Terrific advertises a clock chip which mounts underneath
   some chip on the motherboard. I remember the warning from Neil Harris on
   the dangers of the Logikhron (as I remember, it occasionally trashed hard
   disks); has anybody had any experience with the Terrific chip (or any
   other clock)?

b) I'm also considering buying a hard disk. The two alternatives seem to be
   the Atari SH204 and the Supra 30Meg drive, which Computer Mail Order 
   advertises at about US$100 more than the Atari drive. Is the Supra a good
   buy? Is it reliable? Is it faster than, the same speed as, or slower than
   the SH204? The Berkeley Microsystems drive is also a possibility, but 
   the prices I've seen seem a little out of my leage.

I'd appreciate any comments on either of these topics.
